Simon Wilkinson is a British transmedia artist. His work incorporates audiovisual, installation, Virtual Reality, electronic music, and online and performance media, often combining all of these forms simultaneously. Wilkinson describes transmedia as ‘the practice of telling a story through multiple platforms; so that, for example, instead of making a website ‘about’ the theatre piece, the website becomes an embedded part of the narrative.’

He often uses transmedia platforms in order ‘to disrupt consensus reality and immerse audiences in experiences which blur the line between truth and fiction.’

Wilkinson, who currently produces work as Circa 69, has featured in Tate Modern’s Merge Festival (2011) and at many international festivals.

Simon has been described as “one of the most notable names in Europe to be dealing with VR” by Cineuropa Magazine. To find out more about his work, click here.

He was the lead facilitator on British Council’s Transmedia Thinktank in Venezuela 2016 and in 2017 was a resident at Cambridge University’s Centre for the Future of Intelligence exploring the use of artificial intelligence in his practice.
